One hour video as the only format? Be a bit more realistic. Infoq video streaming is also still flaky through our firewall. What's wrong with good old slideware - especially as it's meant to be a classic 10 bullet point list.
Slides (synchronised with video) are working fine for me. Good talk.
Tim, maybe the firewall needs some fixin's, cuz the video works fine for me and I watched it via my Sprint PCS wireless card while riding to work on the train this morning. Interesting talk. Thx.
I'd really like a transcript of these things. I can read much, much faster than he can speak!
Good job! But it would be really great, if you had an audio podcast with the talks.
I enjoyed his talk a lot, since he has a good sense of humor. The slides are here: http://qconsf.com/sanfrancisco-2007/file?path=/QConSF2007/slides/public/CameronPurdy_TheTop10Ways.pdf
i agree! slide deck much preferred.
Thanks for the positive comments .. I am starting to run out of "top 10" lists these days ;-) Peace, Cameron Purdy Oracle Coherence: Data Grid for Java, .NET and C++
